Biography
Āchārya Dharasena, in the first century CE, guided two Āchāryas, Āchārya Pushpadant and Āchārya Bhutabali, to put the teachings of Mahavira in written form.[1] The two Āchāryas wrote, on palm leaves, Ṣaṭkhaṅḍāgama – among the oldest known Digambara Jain texts.[2] Digambara tradition considers him to be the 33rd teacher in succession of Gautama, 683 years after the nirvana of Mahavira.[3]
